- I see, I have a question: who do you define as the belligerents in a war?
- Let us say the U.S had nothing to do with the start of the war (of course some
- would say that the U.S is behind every foreign occurance), when I say "the" war
- I mean a hypothetical situation, the war is between to opposing countries who
- I can understand you might call belligerents. Now let's say we granted you
- your statement that any wat is a grave mistake, therefore shouldn't the war be
- finished as soon as possible and stop the mistake before it goes out of hand.
- Therefore couldn't we justify U.S intervention in the internal affairs of other
- countries.
- War is a world-wide tradition since the begining of time. Whether it is wrong
- or right it has existed and most probably will exist until universal utopia is
- reached. Therefore, if U.S intervention to stop a war, or help a certain side
- which supports our country's interests win the war, can't we justify it?
